[Computer-assisted recording and processing of patch test data. A model].

Abstract

In the Department of Dermatology of the University of Graz (Austria) since 1985 an electronic data system is used for registration and evaluation of patch test data. The installed system (hardware and software), database and the possible methods for evaluation are presented. The necessity of global solution of the problem with possible access to complete database (patient data, product declaration and literature) is emphasized.
